Lewis Bowden
Bio:
My passion for imagery came from a background in rollerblading, where I first learned to shoot photos & videos. As my passion grew, it gave me more opportunity to skate and shoot, as well as travel. After a few years of ongoing injuries, I decided to take a step back from blading and the idea of Occult came to mind. I turned my full attention to building and growing Occult as a platform to develop creatively. You can still find me out skating once a week and I continue to film for local projects in skating – but I spend most of my spare time with my family now. My main focus and passion are filming fashion, music, and other creative content, and this is where I feel most at home.
